Healthcare for Pets by DigitalXi allows you to
discover new and relevant content for your pets
with regular articles and tidbits, whilst VitusVet
is a life and sanity-saving tool for pet owners.
In addition to having all of your pet’s medical
records available in an emergency, the app tracks
major events and daily items like medication
reminders, walk times, current pet food, and you
can even request veterinary appointments.
That’s without mentioning the growing
telemedicine trend in healthcare, which is
naturally making its way to the world of pets.
Rather than pay hundreds of dollars to visit
your local veterinary practice, pet owners can
now recruit a vet via FaceTime for an online
consultation, saving them time and money.
Though new services are helping to change the
way we deal with our pets’ health conditions,
we should exercise caution and remember that
meeting a qualified practitioner face-to-face
is recommended.
There’s no denying that technology firms are transforming the way
we look after our pets - with some companies using apps to help
us find our new best friend from homeless shelters - but there’s
still a long way to go. The future of pet care is incredibly exciting, and
with the help of artificial intelligence, scientists are now learning how
to translate animals’ vocalizations and facial expressions into
something we can understand.
Whether you’re a cat lover or a dog lover, we encourage you to
embrace the current technology and pet care innovations available to
build deeper relationships with your furry friend to enrich your life and
theirs. Paws up!
